Genetic engineering‚ on the other hand‚ can create plants with the exact desired trait very rapidly and with great accuracy. Development. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. Typically‚ genetically modified foods are plant products: soybean‚ corn‚ canola‚ and cotton seed oil‚ but animal products have been proposed. The first commercially grown genetically modified

Unknown A produced a titer of 1.82x106 CFU/gm‚ the second highest average in the pour plates‚ followed closely by Unknown B‚ which had an average of 1.22x106 CFU/gm (Figure 1). Discussion It was hypothesized that the amount of bacterial contamination in several samples of meat will have variable assays due to the different methods of meat handling.

As regards pollen contamination from GM varieties and the call for compensation for growers of non-GM or organic varieties whose crops are contaminated‚ if one is to be fair one might reasonably expect growers of non-GM and organic varieties to compensate growers of GM crops if they are contaminated with non-GM or organic pollen. |Genetic pollution from transgenes spreads into other organisms through pollen‚ seeds and microbial

If so‚ what reasoning do you give for supporting the position of one group over the other? Is it possible for both to be right? What ethical concepts help you decide? I believe both are right to some extent. I think that once approved for human consumption the upside of GM foods will be tremendous. GM foods can feed way more people per acre than organic food. Bugs
